Bobby Green Says 'I’m Not Going Nowhere' Following Knockout Loss at UFC Austin

Bobby Green had nothing but praise for short-notice foe Jalin Turner following their co-main event bout at UFC on ESPN 52.

Turner, who was a late replacement for Dan Hooker, knocked out Green 2:49 into the opening stanza of their lightweight clash at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Saturday night. That snapped a two-bout winning streak for Green, who was coming off back-to-back finishes of Tony Ferguson and Grant Dawson.

Green appeared to absorb some unnecessary punishment before referee Kerry Hatley stepped in to wave off the bout, but “King” didn’t mention the stoppage in a post-fight statement on his Instagram stories.

“What up, guys?” Green said. “You win some, you lose some. I guess I want to show people that you’ve got to keep it G and you’ve got to keep it G when you lose.

“Shout out to Jalin, you did your thing, brother. I’m so happy for you. It means the world that you stepped up on short notice and you had your success, so shout out to you. To all my people, it’s just another step in the thing, you know. Another step in the career. There’s ups, there’s downs, I’m a keep it going. I’m not going nowhere. Love you, guys.”

Turner halted a two-bout skid with the victory and improved to 7-4 overall during his UFC tenure.
